I know there are several Los Angeles area people on this site, and a few active in the LA session scene.

A professional violinist was hired for a session at one of the major TV/Movie studios here, but he never showed up to the session, and hasn't been seen since. He is also the father of a buddy of mine, who's a music promoter here in LA.

Robert Alan Korda went missing on Wednesday after he failed to show up for work at Gower Studios in Hollywood, according to the LAPD.

The musician's body was located Sunday in the custody of the coroner's office, and his death is under investigation.

Korda was found "unresponsive" at a home in Glendale after authorities were notified at 18:46 p.m. Wednesday, said Assistant Chief Ed Winter of the coroner's office. Korda was pronounced dead at a hospital at 19:30 that evening, according to Winter.

There was a delay in linking the missing-person case with the deceased because Korda was mistakenly registered at the hospital as "Norda," said Winter. The correct identification was made on Sunday, according to Winter.

An autopsy was done on the body but the results "are still pending," Winter said. He said the initial investigation indicated Korda died of natural causes.

Really sad that a typo could cause so much duress, on top of an already sad event.
